After recalling a population of its Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs (Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand) for brake issues earlier this month, Ford is back to recall a lot more vehicles — over a million — this time over an issue with the rearview camera.
Affected Ford vehicles include the following and their associated model years:
2021-24 Bronco
2021-24 Edge
2021-24 F-150
2021-23 Mustang Mach-E
2022-25 Transit
2022-24 Expedition
2023-24 Escape
2023-24 F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600
2024 Mustang
2024 Ranger
Affected Lincoln vehicles include:
2021-23 Nautilus
2022-24 Navigator
2023-24 Corsair
A software error in these vehicles may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying or cause it to be delayed or freeze when the vehicle is in Reverse. A frozen image can cause a misrepresentation of the surrounding area, while a blank screen reduces the driver’s visibility, both increasing the risk of a crash.
As a fix, the accessory protocol interface module software will be updated for free by a dealer or via an over-the-air update. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue will be sent out June 16, and a second letter will be sent out once the remedy is available in the third quarter of 2025. Those with further questions can contact Ford at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s recall number for this issue is 25S49), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
